Please give us way to distinguish between new and veteran players (average level)

It's just a pain these days to get parties together if they're not in your LS, and sometimes you can't help but get these ragtag teams together. I think this system would prevent a lot of problems before leves were even activated. Leadership.

this is a case of butting into others gameplay. It won't help. It will only cause issues, getting parties is already hard for everyone unless your in an LS and even then if you start now not too many ppl woth low ranks.

I'm not worried about new people whom I can share insights with. I'm concerned with the rude bossy types who think they're all that and that I don't know anything since they're 34 and I'm 32 at the time etc...

Then it's not really about the new players, you talk about elitists who show theirselves already at lower levels. The ones you want to mark in this case are exactly the ones who will leave out any player with a newbie-mark on their heads. See the irony? I don't think it's a matter of being new or have many 50s really. Will a player who has many 50s give you a warranty of not being a fool? Is it just those players who only have a 34-rank job that act like they were a god sent down to spare our miserable lives?

You'd like to know players' personality and behaviours at first glance, just by looking at their characters and not having to interact with them.
No way...

Giving them some kind of signal that you have multiple classes leveled up isn't going to change their personality. People act that way because that's who they are.

[Physic]

It doesnt matter what someone who doesnt know you thinks about your level, regardless of how long you have played they will have thier own opinions, i wouldnt sweat it.

I also find it amazing the amount of 1 1 1 11 players out there, it would never work for me, but then again i usually work with smaller groups and solo, and fight the hardest stuff i can and get decent exp for, so that might be why i actually have to use the majority of my skills.

[Cairdeas]

No. We don't need more easymode elitism.

[Chardrizard]

No, your ability to play more and rank all classes doesn't make you a better player.

[Soma]

Well i think this game needs all the players it can get.

i know sometimes you get that one "know-it-all" in a party.

but the beauty of FF is that. you have one character and people remember you.

you can chose to play or not with people.

i would like to think that people who play FF are a little more mature then say some

of these other mmo's.

the game still broken and things are still changing. nobody knows everything yet.

everyone ive ever played with in 11 and 14 have been great, thats what makes it

so special to me.

if this game is gona be successful it has to draw new players. things that split the

community isnt good for the game. thats my opinion

[Sykora727]

I don't view this as splitting the community. Goodness. I'm saying that it's a brand, a badge. I don't want this so I can avoid partying with other members, it's so that people won't need to tell me what to do since they'll know I've been playing since the beginning etc. It's not an ego thing, in fact, it's to avoid it.

[Aistaraina]

You fail to understand the internet then. Give people a badge with a number on it, and it automatically turns into elitism. Higher numbers think lower numbers suck, and don't want to play with them. Lower numbers get screwed over. Despite the fact that it may, or may not be true.

Look at CoD, and their Prestige for example. "Oh i'm 8th Prestige! I'm better than you!". No, you just play way to fucking much. Same thing will happen here.

What you're saying can be accomplished with a simple, "I've been playing since release. I know what i'm doing thank you very much." A badge or whatever is not going to stop some idiot from thinking they are better than you anyways. If they want to run their mouth, they will.
